In Gateway, you are suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar world, seemingly out of nowhere. This serves as a hub world, a nexus where humans, known as travelers, use it as a point to access gateways connecting to distant worlds and universes. Soon, it becomes apparent that you’re entangled in someone else’s elaborate scheme spanning centuries. You’re tasked with expanding and improving this hub world to gain power for yourself and another, ensuring it becomes an enticing destination for passing travelers.
Stranded and unable to return through the portal, you find yourself making a home alongside the “strays” – nine women who arrived earlier under similar circumstances. However, you soon discern that your arrival and purpose here are markedly distinct from theirs and that your lives are now inextricably intertwined.
